St Oswald's Church, Lythe, Scarborough (By skysnapper13)

St Oswald?s is an ancient church with an internationally renowned collection of Anglo-Scandinavian carved stones. It is also a living Christian community where worship is offered as in the past. With its spectacular views across the coastline to Whitby, this imposing church continues the tradition of worship at this site that almost certainly began in Viking times.The name ?Lythe? means ?on a hill?. The Parish of Lythe, which originally extended over some 40 square miles, and included the present parishes of Egton and Ugthorpe, is nearly all high above sea level, though the sea forms a Parish boundary. At the top of Lythe Bank the Parish Church of St Oswald is a landmark visible for miles from sea and land and it has many centuries of history behind it.

St Mary the Virgin, Wiltshire (By gasbag43)

The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Bishops Cannings stands as one of Wiltshire’s most impressive medieval parish churches, with origins likely rooted in a Saxon foundation. By the late 12th century a substantial stone church had taken shape, later transformed through major 13th–15th century expansions. These included the Early English central tower, the south chantry chapel, and the soaring 15th century spire that still dominates the landscape. Over the centuries the church became known for its music, notably its early peal of eight bells cast in 1602, and for the wealth of its parish, which supported repeated restorations, including significant Victorian work in the 1880s. The accompanying photograph captures the church’s commanding presence within its historic churchyard, revealing the cruciform plan, the central tower and spire, and the long-settled burial ground that encircles it. This elevated perspective highlights how the church has served as both a spiritual and geographical anchor for the surrounding rural community for nearly a millennium.

Wenlock Priory, Shropshire (By D0c.Col)

Hidden in the Shropshire countryside, the ruins of Wenlock Priory tell a remarkable story of faith, wealth, controversy, and survival.Founded in the early medieval period and later refounded as a powerful Cluniac monastery after the Norman Conquest, Wenlock Priory became one of the wealthiest religious houses in the region. For centuries, monks lived, worked, and worshipped here — managing vast lands across Shropshire and beyond.That long history came to a dramatic end in 1540, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The priory was stripped, abandoned, and gradually fell into ruin — its stone reused throughout the surrounding town.Today, the remains of Wenlock Priory are managed and preserved by English Heritage, allowing visitors to explore one of England’s most atmospheric monastic sites. Part of the former priory complex also survives as Wenlock Abbey, a private residence which has been home since the 1980s to the actress Gabrielle Drake, known for her roles in 1960s television including the science-fiction series UFO.I parked for free at the top of the road simply named 'Bull Ring' just off Much Wenlock's main street, but English Heritage have a paid carpark adjacent to the entrance to the priory just a short walk further on.The town itself is a pleasure to stroll around and has many places to eat and of course toilets are readily available too.As the priory is managed by English Heritage it's best to be discreet, whilst filming. I used a TOAL point just off 'Bull Ring' road next to their carpark as it was a public path and gives you a certain amount of privacy, whilst maintaining a modest amount of VLOS!
